MELBOURNE, Australia, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Slow and unreliable payments are influencing how subcontractors price and pursue future work, with preliminary findings from a recent Payapps, an Autodesk Company survey of 754 subcontractors across Australia and New Zealand showing that a builder’s payment reputation now has a direct impact on bidding behaviour and cost.
According to the survey, 77% of subcontractors said a main contractor’s payment reputation influences their decision to bid or price future work. By comparison, 57% said they have increased rates or added a risk margin due to slow or unreliable payments. The findings point to a growing commercial consequence for builders, as payment practices begin to affect not only subcontractor cash flow, but also pricing, confidence and supply chain resilience.
The survey also found that when payments are delayed, the top three impacts on subcontractors are tighter cash flow, increased stress and pressure, and greater difficulty paying suppliers. In addition, 40% of respondents said they would be interested in an optional early payment arrangement for approved progress claims, even if it meant receiving a slightly reduced payment.
In response to these pressures, Payapps, an Autodesk Company, has launched Early Payment — a new feature that enables main contractors to manage optional early payment requests within the progress claim workflow they already use to collaborate with subcontractors.
Rather than relying on informal conversations, side arrangements, or manual workarounds, the Early Payment feature in Payapps provides builders with a structured, transparent way to support subcontractor cash flow while maintaining governance, visibility, and commercial control. The feature allows contractors to configure eligibility, payment timeframes and discount settings, while embedding requests into existing approval workflows and downstream finance processes.
“Timing is the critical issue,” said Scott Lockwood, Head of Customer Success at Payapps. “Traditional early payment arrangements often try to accelerate approvals and payments while adding manual administration at the same time. That combination makes them difficult to govern and even harder to scale.”
“The Early Payment feature in Payapps changes that by embedding requests directly into the progress claim and approval workflow. It gives builders a practical way to support subcontractor cash flow while maintaining visibility, control and commercial discipline.”
Payapps said the feature has already been trialled with a select group of customers during its early rollout, helping validate how early payment works in practice across live projects.
“Our early payment approach gives subcontractors flexible access to funds when they genuinely need it, without changing underlying contract terms,” said Lewis Skittrall, Head of Commercial at Sarah Constructions. “By keeping the process optional, transparent and embedded within our existing Payapps claim workflows, we’re able to support our supply chain while maintaining strong commercial governance across projects.”
The launch reflects a broader shift in construction finance and commercial operations, where builders are under increasing pressure to improve internal efficiency while also responding to the real-world cash flow pressures faced by their subcontractor base. By standardising how early payment requests are made, reviewed, and approved, Payapps aims to help builders reduce administrative burden, avoid inconsistencies, and create a more professional, scalable way to respond to subcontractor funding needs.
How Payapps Helps Standardise Early Payment Requests in Construction
About Payapps
Payapps, an Autodesk Company, is an award-winning cloud-based collaboration tool for the construction industry. It helps main contractors and subcontractors simplify and streamline the submission and assessment of progress claims on projects, including contract variations. By digitising and streamlining these workflows, Payapps improves transparency, accuracy, compliance and collaboration, while reducing financial risk, disputes and administrative burden. Payapps integrates with a wide range of construction ERP, project and financial management systems to provide real-time visibility across project payment claim processes.
SINGAPORE, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Swisslog proudly announces the successful deployment and commissioning of Satair’s new AutoStore system at its Singapore facility, underscoring Swisslog’s position as Southeast Asia’s leading AutoStore partners.

This installation represents Satair’s third automation deployment globally, following successful implementations in Hamburg and Dulles. It forms a key pillar of the company’s strategy to harmonise and robotise logistics processes across its global network—enhancing efficiency, resilience, and scalability.
Enhancing speed and regional capability in aerospace logistics
The new AutoStore system strengthens Satair’s logistics capabilities across Asia-Pacific by enabling high‑density, goods‑to‑person automation. By storing approximately 80% of small and medium-sized parts within the existing 1,000 m² footprint. The system delivers faster and more consistent order processing while supporting scalable, 24/7 operations. This translates into improved reliability, shorter handling times, and greater flexibility for customers—particularly during periods of peak demand.
“Our partnership with Satair continues to be a strong example of how advanced automation can transform aerospace logistics. By combining Swisslog’s integration expertise with AutoStore’s high‑density storage technology, we are enabling Satair to scale efficiently and stay ahead of growing regional demand” says Steven Xie, EVP and Managing Director, Swisslog APeC
Reinforcing Singapore’s Aerospace Ecosystem
Supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), the installation strengthens Singapore’s position as a leading aerospace logistics hub. The project also contributes to the nation’s ongoing efforts to advance digitalisation and build future‑ready supply chain capabilities.
“The inauguration of AutoStore in Singapore is a pivotal step in our transformative regional growth via technology. By integrating this advanced automation, we are ensuring that our supply chain remains resilient and ready to support the rapid fleet growth we see across Asia-Pacific. This investment reflects our commitment to providing consistent, value‑added, world‑class service levels to our customers.” says Andy Lee, Managing Director for Satair Asia-Pacific.
Swisslog will continue to work alongside Satair as it expands its automation capabilities, ensuring the Singapore facility remains a benchmark for operational excellence in the region.
About Swisslog

Laos, China Launch New Bus Route Linking Yunnan to Luang Namtha (Photo: Cover News China)
Laos and China have launched a new international bus route connecting Xiang Hung City in Yunnan Province to Xiang Kok village in Luang Namtha, creating a direct overland link along a previously less accessible corridor.
Officials marked the launch on 11 April at the ASEAN Comprehensive International Transport Service Center in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. The opening coincided with the 65th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Laos and China and the ongoing China–Laos Friendship Year.
How the Route Works
The route spans about 280 kilometers, starting from Jinghong City in Xishuangbanna and crossing into Laos through the Mengman Chahe Port before reaching Xiang Kok village.
The service runs one round trip daily, with a one-way journey taking seven to eight hours. A one-way ticket costs 158 yuan, around LAK 300,000 (USD 22).
The route offers direct, point-to-point travel, removing the need for multiple transfers that previously made the journey difficult for passengers.
Chinese media reported that He Shenglong, Director of the Comprehensive Transportation Department of Yunnan Provincial Department of Transportation, said the route strengthens cross-border transport systems, improves port efficiency, and enhances service standards.
He said the route will help attract investment, boost tourism, and support trade and logistics along the corridor.
Laos and China began discussions on cross-border transport cooperation in May 2025 in Kunming. Officials inspected proposed routes in July, followed by trial operations for the Jinghong–Xiang Kok route in December the same year.
Authorities officially launched the service this month.
Different from Existing Route
The new service marks the second cross-border bus route between the two countries but differs from the earlier Mohan–Boten shuttle.
The Mohan–Boten route connects railway stations over a short 16-kilometer distance and mainly serves passengers using the Laos–China Railway.
Meanwhile, the Xiang Hung–Xiang Kok route operates as a standalone intercity service along a western corridor that previously lacked direct public transport, opening access to areas once limited to traders and local communities.
Boosting Trade and Tourism
Authorities expect the route to support cross-border trade, increase tourist flows, and create new business opportunities.
Luang Namtha, a key gateway for trade and eco-tourism in northern Laos, stands to benefit from increased visitor traffic. The route also strengthens connectivity between Yunnan and Southeast Asia.
Officials said the new service will support sustainable economic development and deepen cooperation between Laos and China.

TAIPEI, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AnBogen Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on precision oncology, today announced that two key research abstracts regarding its lead compound, Imofinostat (ABT-301), have been selected for poster presentations at the 2026 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting. The data demonstrate ABT-301’s superior performance in enhancing immunotherapy for colorectal cancer (CRC) and reveal a novel mechanism for overcoming chemotherapy resistance in pancreatic cancer.
AnBogen will present these breakthroughs during the session “PO.ET09.01 – Epigenetic Modulators 1” on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (Local Time) in San Diego.
1. Strengthening Immune Response: New Evidence in Colorectal Cancer (CRC)
Abstract Title:Imofinostat in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors enhances anti-tumor activity in colorectal cancer
Abstract Number: 4496 (Section 14, Poster 15)
Key Breakthrough: Preclinical data confirms that Imofinostat, acting as an HDAC inhibitor, effectively modulates the tumor microenvironment (TME). By synergizing with immune checkpoint inhibitors and anti-angiogenic agents, it converts “cold tumors” into “hot tumors,” significantly enhancing the immune system’s ability to recognize and eliminate cancer cells. This provides a robust scientific foundation for AnBogen’s ongoing global clinical trials.
2. Breaking the Defense: Targeting the HDAC3-NRF2 Pathway in Pancreatic Cancer
Abstract Title:Imofinostat enhances chemotherapy response in KRAS-mutant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) by targeting the HDAC3-NRF2 pathway
Abstract Number: 4497 (Section 14, Poster 16)
Key Breakthrough: For highly challenging KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer, the study reveals that Imofinostat precisely regulates the HDAC3-NRF2 signaling pathway—a key driver of chemo-resistance. By intervening in this pathway, Imofinostat significantly boosts tumor sensitivity to chemotherapy, offering a promising new therapeutic strategy for patients with this aggressive malignancy.
Triple Combination Strategy for Advanced CRC
Based on the strong scientific evidence presented at AACR, AnBogen is actively advancing a Phase 1/2 global multi-center clinical trial (NCT07244705) for Imofinostat in combination with Tislelizumab (an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody provided by BeOne Medicines under a clinical drug supply agreement) and an anti-angiogenic agent for advanced CRC.
This triple combination strategy leverages ABT-301’s capacity to reshape the tumor microenvironment and lift immune suppression, which in turn unlocks the therapeutic potential of the PD-1 inhibitor. Through a synergistic interplay with anti-angiogenic agents, the treatment collectively promotes the normalization of tumor vasculature and optimization of the microenvironment. This integrated action effectively dismantles drug delivery barriers, allowing immune cells to penetrate deeper into the tumor core for maximum anti-cancer synergy.
“The two abstracts presented at AACR this year represent international academic recognition of ABT-301’s innovative mechanism,” said John Hsu, CEO of AnBogen Therapeutics. “We are accelerating the translation of these findings into clinical results. Furthermore, our recent successful Series B funding and upcoming plans for an Emerging Stock Market listing will provide the resources needed to drive our trials forward and address significant unmet medical needs.”
About Imofinostat (ABT-301) Imofinostat is a small-molecule Histone Deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi). It reactivates tumor suppressor genes silenced by cancer cells, inducing apoptosis and inhibiting tumor growth. In Phase 1 monotherapy trials, ABT-301 demonstrated excellent safety and competitive advantages across various solid tumors.
Currently, a global multi-center Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT07244705) is underway to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Imofinostat in combination with Tevimbra® (Tislelizumab) and Bevacizumab. This study focuses on patients with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) or non-high microsatellite instability (Non-MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).
About AnBogen Therapeutics AnBogen Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotech company dedicated to developing innovative precision oncology therapies. By transforming high-value scientific discoveries into clinical proof-of-concept, AnBogen aims to provide next-generation treatment options for cancer patients worldwide.
